“Too right. I didn’t have this hot little body to slide into whenever I so desired.” She tenses in my arms, probably wondering why I didn’t do just that over the weekend. “Come on, Little Dove. A new school day in hell awaits.”
“Do you really hate it here?” she asks as she slips her hand into mine and falls into step beside me.
“I don’t know, it sure has some benefits.”
“Oh yeah?”
I wrap my arm around her shoulder, pulling her into my body. “Have I told you how hot you look in that cheer uniform?”
“No, I don’t think you ever mentioned it.”
“Hmm, we might have to rectify that.”
I stop, pushing her up against the building beside us and caging her in with my arms either side of her head.
“You, Hadley Rexford, look hot as fuck in your cheer uniform.” I run my nose down the length of hers.
“You don’t look so bad out on the field yourself.”
“You watch me?”
“You know I do.”
“Is everything okay?” I study her. “You seem… distant.”
“I’m fine.” It comes out tight. “Things are just a bit intense right now.”
“You mean me?”
“Yes and no. I mean, not this,” she says, gesturing between us. “I… just… everything. Friday night was a lot to take in.”
“Trust me, I know. I promise that I’m going to keep you safe though.”
“You can’t promise that, Cole. You can’t keep your eyes on me every minute of the day.”
“I’ll do my best.” Finally, I lean forward and capture her lips. We make out at the side of the building until the bell rings, signaling that we should be heading to class.
“Let’s skip. We could go to the beach and spend all day doing this.” I press my body into her so she h
as no choice but to feel what she does to me.
“We can’t. I’ve already skipped enough this year.”
I groan, knowing that she’s right but not wanting to agree with her.
“After school?” I ask.
“Um… I’m hanging with Remi after practice.”
“Okay, well after that?”
“I’ll let you know.” She takes off down the hall, leaving me standing there, gawking after her.
Let me know… what the fuck does that mean?
The day drags, and knowing that I’m going to get to see her at lunch means that English Lit drags even more.
The second we’re free, I’m heading for her locker. Hadley’s last class was right down the hall so I expect her to beat me there, but when I arrive she’s nowhere to be seen.
